For example, when an input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the fourth object 1514 may be generated in response to the obtained input, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interface 1510, the generation period of the fourth object 1514 may be set based on information on an audio source being played. For example, when the BPM information included in the information of the audio source being played is high, the generation period of the fourth object 1514 may be shortened, and when the BPM information included in the information of the played audio source is low, the generation period of the fourth object 1514 may be lengthened, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Also, according to the first interface 1510, at least some of the audio sources included in the first audio source set may be basically played. For example, a first audio source, a second audio source, and a third audio source included in the first audio source set may be played according to the first interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For a more specific example, a first drum audio source, a first vocal audio source, and a first melody audio source included in the first audio source set may be played according to the first interface 1510, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the first interaction rule subset may include at least one interaction rule, and the interaction rules described below may be implemented as one interaction rule, but are not limited thereto and may be implemented as a plurality of interaction rules.

In this case, the first interaction rule subset may include at least one interaction rule for playing the first audio source set according to a user's interaction.

For example, the first interaction rule subset may include an interaction rule designed to output at least one audio effect when an input is obtained from a user, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Further, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a first input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, a configuration of the first audio source set being played may be changed.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a first input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the configuration of the first audio source set being played may be changed from the first drum audio source, the first melody audio source, and the first vocal audio source to the first drum audio source, the first melody audio source, and the first mechanical vocal audio source, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input to the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, an output level of the first audio source set being played may be adjusted.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the output level of at least one audio source included in the first audio source set being played may be adjusted to be the highest, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For a more specific example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the first vocal audio source included in the first audio source set being played may be adjusted to have the highest output level, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this case, controlling the output level of the audio source to be the highest may mean that the output volume level is adjusted and mean that audio sources other than the audio source with the highest output level are not played or are muted.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the output level of the first audio source set being played may be differently adjusted according to the position of the second input.

For example, in the case where the second input is a drag input, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input corresponding to the first area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first drum audio source among the first audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the second area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first melody audio source among the played first audio source sets may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the third area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first vocal audio source among the first audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, the output level of the first audio source set being played may be differently adjusted according to the position of the second input, or a video source corresponding to the played audio source may be output.

For example, in the case where the second input is a drag input, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a second input corresponding to the first area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first drum audio source among the first audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the second area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first melody audio source among the played first audio source sets may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the third area for the first object 1511 is obtained from the user, the output level of the first vocal audio source among the first audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the fourth area of the first object 1511 is obtained, a first video source corresponding to the first audio source set to be played may be output, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1512 is obtained from a user, at least one audio effect may be applied to an audio source to be played.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1512 is obtained from a user, a filter effect may be applied to an audio source to be played, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1512 is obtained from a user, an arbitrary audio effect may be applied to an audio source to be played.

In this case, the arbitrary audio effect may be an arbitrary audio effect that is matched when the second object 1512 is generated, and may be an audio effect arbitrarily determined at a time point at which an input is obtained from a user, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1512 is obtained from a user, the level of the audio effect applied may be changed according to the position at which the third input is obtained.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, in the case where a third input for the second object 1512 is obtained from a user, when the user's input moves toward the top of the screen, the level of any audio effect applied to the audio source being played may be increased, and when the user's input moves toward the bottom of the screen, the level of an arbitrary audio effect applied to the played audio source may be lowered, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Further, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a fourth input for the third object 1513 is obtained from a user, an audio source may be additionally played.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a fourth input for the third object 1513 is obtained from a user, the bell audio source included in the first audio source set may be played, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the first interaction rule subset may include an interaction rule for moving to another interface.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a fifth input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to another interface.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a swap (flick) input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to the second interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a sixth input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to another interface.

For example, according to the first interaction rule subset, when a bash (random press) input for the first object 1511 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to a third interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this case, an audio source set played in the second interface and an audio source set played in the third interface may be different from each other.

For example, the energy level of the audio source set played in the third interface may be higher than the energy level of the audio source set played in the second interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this case, since the above-described contents may be applied to the play of the audio source according to the user's input, the overlapping description will be omitted.

In addition, when the position of the first object 1511 is changed, the position of the concentric wave generator for generating the fourth object 1514 may be changed.

For example, when the position of the first object 1511 is changed as shown in FIG. 19 , the position of the concentric wave generator for generating the fourth object 1514 may be changed in a direction opposite to the position of the first object 1511, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the fourth object 1524 may be generated in a concentric wave shape. For example, the fourth object 1524 may be generated in a concentric wave shape generated from a concentric wave generator positioned on a part of the screen, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Further, according to the second interface 1520, the fourth object 1524 may be generated in the same shape as the outer periphery of the first object 1521. For example, when the first object 1521 has a rectangular shape, the fourth object 1524 may be generated in a rectangular concentric wave shape, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the fourth object 1524 may be generated by a user's interaction. For example, when an input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, the fourth object 1524 may be generated in response to the obtained input, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the generation period of the fourth object 1524 may be set based on information on an audio source being played. For example, when the BPM information included in the information of the audio source being played is high, the generation period of the fourth object 1524 may be shortened, and when the BPM information included in the information of the played audio source is low, the generation period of the fourth object 1524 may be lengthened, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the background object 1525 may be designed to change at least a part of a color from the center of the screen toward the outer side of the screen. For example, the background object 1525 may be designed such that the saturation or brightness of a color decreases from the center of the screen toward the outer side, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the music information display area 1526 may display information on an audio source to be played. For example, the music information display area 1526 may display a title and singer information of an audio source to be played, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interface 1520, the play information display area 1527 may display information on which an audio source is played. For example, the play information display area 1527 may display interface information and time information moved to play an audio source, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Also, according to the second interface 1520, at least some of the audio sources included in the second audio source set may be basically played. For example, a first audio source, a second audio source, and a third audio source included in the second audio source set may be played according to the second interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For a more specific example, a second drum audio source, a second vocal audio source, and a second melody audio source included in the second audio source set may be played according to the second interface 1520, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the second interaction rule subset may include at least one interaction rule, and the interaction rules described below may be implemented as one interaction rule, but are not limited thereto and may be implemented as a plurality of interaction rules.

In this case, the second interaction rule subset may include at least one interaction rule for playing the second audio source set according to a user's interaction.

For example, the second interaction rule subset may include an interaction rule designed to output at least one audio effect when an input is obtained from a user, but is not limited thereto.

Further, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a first input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, a configuration of the second audio source set being played may be changed.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a first input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, the configuration of the second audio source set being played may be changed from the second drum audio source, the second melody audio source, and the second vocal audio source to the second drum audio source, the second melody audio source, and the second mechanical vocal audio source, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input to the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, an output level of the second audio source set being played may be adjusted.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, the output level of at least one audio source included in the second audio source set being played may be adjusted to be the highest, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For a more specific example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, the second vocal audio source included in the second audio source set being played may be adjusted to have the highest output level, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this case, controlling the output level of the audio source to be the highest may mean that the output volume level is adjusted and mean that audio sources other than the audio source with the highest output level are not played or are muted.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, the output level of the first audio source set being played may be differently adjusted according to the position of the second input.

For example, in the case where the second input is a drag input, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input corresponding to the first area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second drum audio source among the second audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the second area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second melody audio source among the played second audio source sets may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the third area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second vocal audio source among the second audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

For example, in the case where the second input is a drag input, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a second input corresponding to the first area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second drum audio source among the second audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the second area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second melody audio source among the played second audio source sets may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the third area for the first object 1521 is obtained from the user, the output level of the second vocal audio source among the second audio source sets to be played may be adjusted to be the highest, and when a second input corresponding to the fourth area of the first object 1521 is obtained, a second video source corresponding to the second audio source set to be played may be output, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1522 is obtained from a user, at least one audio effect may be applied to an audio source to be played.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1522 is obtained from a user, a filter effect may be applied to an audio source to be played, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1522 is obtained from a user, an arbitrary audio effect may be applied to an audio source to be played.

In this case, the arbitrary audio effect may be an arbitrary audio effect that is matched when the second object 1522 is generated, and may be an audio effect arbitrarily determined at a time point at which an input is obtained from a user, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a third input for the second object 1522 is obtained from a user, the level of the audio effect applied may be changed according to the position at which the third input is obtained.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, in the case where a third input for the second object 1522 is obtained from a user, when the user's input moves toward the top of the screen, the level of any audio effect applied to the audio source being played may be increased, and when the user's input moves toward the bottom of the screen, the level of an arbitrary audio effect applied to the played audio source may be lowered, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Further, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a fourth input for the third object 1523 is obtained from a user, an audio source may be additionally played.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a fourth input for the third object 1523 is obtained from a user, the bell audio source included in the second audio source set may be played, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, the second interaction rule subset may include an interaction rule for moving to another interface.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a fifth input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to another interface.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a swap (flick) input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to the first interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a sixth input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to another interface.

For example, according to the second interaction rule subset, when a bash (random press) input for the first object 1521 is obtained from a user, it may be moved to the third interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this case, an audio source set played in the first interface and an audio source set played in the third interface may be different from each other.

For example, the energy level of the audio source set played in the third interface may be higher than the energy level of the audio source set played in the first interface, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

4.3. Third Embodiment of Interface for Playing Audio Source using Interaction Rule Set

FIG. 25 is a diagram for describing an interface according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 25 , an interface 1800 according to an embodiment may include a first interface 1810, a second interface 1820, and a third interface 1830.

In this case, each interface may be an interface provided to play an audio source using at least one interaction rule.

For example, the first interface 1810 may be an interface provided to play a first audio source set using a first interaction rule subset, and the second interface 1820 may be an interface provided to play a second audio source set using a second interaction rule subset, and the third interface 1830 may be an interface provided to play a third audio source set using a third interaction rule subset, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, each audio source set may mean a different part of one audio source, and may include at least some of the same audio sources.

For example, the first audio source set, the second audio source set, and the third audio source set may include different portions of one piece of music, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In this chapter, at least one interaction rule for movement between various interfaces will be described, and therefore, a description of each detailed interface will be omitted for convenience of description.

However, the contents of the above-described interfaces may be applied to each interface, and although not described above, various interfaces for playing an audio source may be applied.

In addition, when using the movement between various interfaces described in this chapter and between the audio source sets that play through each interface, linear and non-linear movement of music may be possible, and a new experience for music may be possible by breaking away from the conventional time-series musical structure.

In addition, in the present specification, a nonlinear movement of music, a nonlinear movement of an audio source, or a nonlinear movement of an audio source set may mean movement that is not restricted to time information of an audio source, and may mean a non-time-series movement, and may be understood as a concept different from the existing time-series and linear movements, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 25 , a first movement 1841 according to an embodiment may be a movement from the first interface 1810 to the second interface 1820.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when the time at which the first interface 1810 is provided exceeds a reference time, the first movement 1841 may be performed. For example, when the time at which the first interface 1810 is provided passes 1 minute, which is a reference time, the first movement 1841 may be performed and the second interface 1820 may be provided, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the first movement 1841 may be performed according to the end of the first audio source set played in the first interface 1810. For example, in the case where the length of the first audio source set played in the first interface 1810 is 1 minute 30 seconds, when 1 minute and 30 seconds elapse because the first audio source set is played in the first interface 1810, and the first audio source set ends, the first movement 1841 may be performed to provide the second interface 1820, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when a preset first type input is obtained from a user in the first interface 1810, the first movement 1841 may be performed. For example, when a swap input, which is a preset first type input, is obtained from the user in the first interface 1810, the first movement 1841 may be performed to provide the second interface 1820, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, in the above-described case, as the first movement 1841 from the first interface 1810 to the second interface 1820 is performed, the first audio source set may be played, and then the second audio source set may be played, and this may mean that the music section is moved, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Accordingly, the above-described movement between interfaces may be understood as movement between audio source sets, and may also be understood as movement between interaction rule subsets, but redundant descriptions will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 25 , the second movement 1842 according to an embodiment may be a movement from the second interface 1820 to the first interface 1810.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when the time at which the second interface 1820 is provided exceeds a reference time, the second movement 1842 may be performed. For example, when the time at which the second interface 1820 is provided passes 1 minute, which is the reference time, the second movement 1842 may be performed to provide the first interface 1810, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to an embodiment, the second movement 1842 may be performed according to the end of the second audio source set played in the second interface 1820. For example, in the case where the length of the second audio source set played in the second interface 1820 is 1 minute 30 seconds, when 1 minute and 30 seconds elapse because the second audio source set is played in the second interface 1820, and the second audio source set ends, the second movement 1842 may be performed to provide the first interface 1810, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, according to an embodiment, when a preset first type input is obtained from a user in the second interface 1820, the second movement 1842 may be performed. For example, when a swap input, which is a preset first type input, is obtained from the user in the second interface 1820, the second movement 1842 may be performed to provide the first interface 1810, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In addition, in the above-described case, as the second movement 1842 from the second interface 1820 to the first interface 1810 is performed, the second audio source set may be played, and then the first audio source set may be played, and this may mean that the music section is moved, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
